The Surface is instantly more charming than any Windows device thATT#39;s come before it. It's nearly the perfect size, and the form is almost beyond reproach. If you want a tablet, use it like a tablet. If you want a laptop, use it like a laptop. Both modes
We're not there yet. Surface is a fantastic promise, and holds fantastic potential. But while potential is worth your attention, it's not worth your paycheck. Surface RT gets so many things right, and pulls so many good things together into one package. B
No. The Surface, with an obligatory Touch Cover, is $600. Thats a lot of money. Especially given that its no laptop replacement, no matter how it looks or what Microsoft says. Its a tablet-plus, priced right alongside the iPad and in most ways inferior...

Abstract: Let me put this out there right now: the Microsoft Surface is one good looking device.It probably has something to do with aluminum fatigue [I take credit for this term!] — with most tablets on the road being iPads and, therefore, looking like same-same s...

Polished design & solid construction, Vibrant display, Fast and smooth UI/Performance, Clear audio, Innovative & unique kickstand & covers
about it:
In many aspects, the Surface RT works flawlessly. It has a solid build quality, an amazing display, a clear set of speakers and a great touch cover accessory. Yes, it's a bit chunky — but what other device out there can run Microsoft Office and has a full...
The Microsoft Surface got me deeply rooted into the Microsoft ecosystem. Because of my Surface (and my Lumia), OneDrive (then SkyDrive) is now an indispensible part of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my Surface, though it's getting old and pain...
